{浮沈理論} is the Principle of Floatation.
The Principle states that the weight of a floating object equals to the weight of fluid displaced.
For example:
A ship of weight 10,000,000 N (mass 1,000,000 kg) floats on water in a river (assume the water is of density 1000 kg/m3), then the weight of water displaced by the ship, by the Principle of Floatation, is also 10,000,000 N.
From this, you can find out that the volume of water displaced = 1,000,000/1000 m3 = 1,000 m3
This 1000 m3 is just the volume of the ship submerged under water.
